Torts - Strict Liability of Habitual Sellers (402a Restatement of Torts (second))
Washington, USA -
Just wanted to dip my head in here and get some thoughts and input from the big cats.
I have an ongoing dispute with a used car dealership in which there was a major breach in contract and some pretty obvious misrepresentations. The vehicle was dangerous at the time of sale, and was represented (both expressly and implicatively) and 5 weeks after the sale there was a mechanical breakdown that led to significant bodily harm and economical damages.
Under the Washington Product Liability Act (WPLA), specifically under RCW 7.72.040, the dealership of the vehicle can be held liable for damages caused by products due to their negligence, a breach of express warranty, or intentional misrepresentation. We can prove… YAY!… all three.
So… the issue with the case. There’s hardly any case law within the immediate jurisdiction of this case. Like… little to none.
But common law, throughout the nation, has frequently determined that habitual sellers are strictly liable if they release dangerous chattels into the chain of commerce; usually given, one of aforementioned three stipulations apply.
It should also be noted that the mechanical breakdown was determined, by a forensic expert, to be the result of a failed suspension modification, a failure that witness testimony (affidavits from several previous owners) concludes existed since at least April 2024, nearly 2 years before the incident. Why do I mention this? Because there’s no way the manufacturer of either the vehicle can be held liable, and the manufacturer of the modification made no representations to the plaintiff; nor are the circumstances of the failure possible, at this time, to prove.
This is a FUN one. I’d love to hear some insight! Thank you all for your time! And yes, plaintiff is me.
edit: The purpose of this post is to gather insight regarding common-law and case law consensus’ on the product liability of retailers. If you have questions about or would like to discuss my case specifically, then please direct them to my DMs! Thank you 🙏
